You Are Appreciated!

…give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

EXPRESSING APPRECIATION

 

Gratitude is a feeling of appreciation or thanks. Appreciation is the recognition and expression of the good in others, which, when clearly and intentionally expressed, is such powerful encouragement.

How often do we notice and acknowledge ongoing, faithful acts of service that happen all around us? We’re grateful when things occur as expected, but what might happen if we begin to intentionally express appreciation for these regular services? Too often, we only notice an interruption or delay of service in things such as:

  • mail delivery
  • garbage collection
  • phone service
  • check-out lines
  • kind, efficient reception
  • friendly, capable food service

 

WE APPRECIATE YOU!

 

Chronic Joy is truly grateful for each one of you. Whether you’ve signed up for specific resources (You Get Mail!, blog posts, devotionals), you’ve downloaded one of our free printables, or you’ve checked out a webpage or Books We Love, or maybe you’ve sent one of our flat cards to encourage a friend or loved one, no matter how you’re connected with us – You Are Appreciated!

 

TIPS & TOOLS FOR EXPRESSING GRATITUDE

Notes of appreciation don’t need to be long to express your heartfelt gratitude to service providers (mail carriers, delivery drivers, receptionists, grocery cashiers, bank tellers, food servers, or local baristas). No matter the length, a personal note can be a huge encouragement to them! In fact, sometimes, a single act of intentional kindness can make a big difference in someone’s day.

For many of us, it’s hard to find the right words to thank those who are kind and caring. Below, you’ll find two free printables to get you started (“7 Ways to Thank Care-Providers,” “Note Starters to Thank Healthcare and Service Providers”). Our Appreciation Flat Cards (set of 10 flat cards with envelopes) are available in our Store. These cards were intentionally printed without glossy fronts so that you can personalize each one with the recipient’s name.
